POLL: which park days plan would you choose?

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Ok so I'm getting a plan together and want to know which option you think looks the best.
In recent trips we've been getting a 2 day PH and doing an MK party and it usually works out in this way...
day 1: HS/Epcot
day 2: DS/MK for party
day 3: MK/Epcot (hop back over to HS if we can get a FP for TOT or RNRC to finish off the trip)
So I am learning towards plan 3 as it is the most similar to what we know and works for us but I'm open to other options.

2 adults, July 22-26, 3 day PH, RD'ers, staying at CR

PLAN 1.
July 23: AK/MK
July 24: HS/Epcot/MK for PM EMH
July 25: MK/Epcot

PLAN 2.
July 23: MK/Epcot stay for PM EMH
July 24: HS/Epcot/MK for PM EMH
July 25: AK/MK

PLAN 3.
July 23: HS/Epcot and stay for PM EMH
July 24: AK/MK and stay for PM EMH
July 25: MK/Epcot (hop back over to HS if we can get a good FP)

PLAN 4.
July 23: MK/Epcot and stay for PM EMH
July 24:AK/MK and stay for PM EMH
July 25: HS/Epcot

I say plan 1. I don't think Epcot evening EMHs are that great, the tier 1s are still super crowded and who cares that much about the rest?

MK has way more good rides to spread the EMH crowd plus the kidlets are all pooping out.

I don't think there is a lot to do at HS either honestly.

I agree with Lisa F.

I agree that PM EMH at Epcot isn't that great so I'm going with #1, although #3 isn't bad otherwise because ending with TOT or RNRC is a big in my book!

Haha yes love ending with a favorite.
My issue with doing MK only for EMH is we will already have a full day with 2 other parks and are we gonna feel like entering MK that late at night after that full day?
Or is it better to just do the EMH while we're already IN the park?
We are avid rope droppers so no way we will compromise on that which is just gonna make for a realy long day if we go to 2 parks and then MK EMH ya know.
Ugh decisions decisions.

I do get that, it's hard (I think) to switch your park touring routine no matter how good something else looks or sounds! And I hear you on possibly being too tired for MK EMH if you have to hop to get in the park rather than already being there, that truly does make a difference and I've experienced that. Good luck lol and enjoy your trip whatever you do!

I presented my sister with all the options (she likes for me to do the planning parts and then she is the leader when we're actually on the trip implementing the plans lol).

She needs more time to process it but at the moment we are definitely considering plan 1 and plan 3 more than the others.
We'd get to do MK all 3 days or if we decide to ditch it the second night that's ok. Plus it still keeps us with MK and Epcot the last day so that if we stayed for Illuminations the night before we can still hop over to HS for that one last ride on a favorite.

I'm so happy I'm getting different insight.

@ariane37 I think you're right that its hard to switch up what you've gotten used to doing (we've done the same routine 5 times now. Not 5 consecutive times but still 5 times in the last 5 years) but because of this thread we might!

Plan 4 to avoid the 3-park-1 day situation on Plan 1 and 2
